The Purple Palace 2006

 

Welcome to our 2006 Purple Palace Home Page.

It was another busy year improving the world famous Purple Palace Mutant Vehicle / Art Car.  This Year Deadman and Mojo spent over a month away from Colorado adding a Martian Communication Device, A longer second floor in the rear, A large VIP room and a remarkable third floor!  She is now weighing in at over 75,000 lbs and is remarkably stable on the playa.  We have had over 150 burners on the Purple Palace at once and driving her remains fairly easy.

 

Our Wonderful and Beautiful friend Kitten (Angela) Created our Fabulous new welcome sign this year!

 

Taken with a full load of burners next to the burninator 2 at burning man 2006. 80-100 people on board.

After Weeks of hard work The Purple Palace finally is complete for

Burning Man 2006 Hope and Fear the Future

 

Just after construction she can no longer head south thru Gerlach?

We would take down every power line in town and hit the first bridge we come to.

The third story foot level is 23 ft. tall.  (14 ft. is pushing the legal limit…)(Talk about top heavy!!)

With a little help from my friends, I made it work.

Before the purple palace web pages I had never done any web design,

want to help make it better?

I could really use your help…. Please!

I owe so- many different people thanks for all there help they did for myself and the Purple Palace this year.  Obviously you can’t put such a large project together and keep it running without a ton of setup help and support while she’s moving.  I was lucky enough to have both.  Deadman helped more that I could have ever imagined. Considering he was already injured when we left with an injured back, he just kept working through the pain.  He gave every once of his body and soul for this project.  Our theme was… “They will never know”   They Won’t!   Thanks brother…

 

Angela (Kitten), Adam (Laser Duckman), Andrea(Strawberry),Diamond Dave Power, Mike(Spirsy), Erica, Patricia, Bex, were all part of my crew from Colorado that helped immensely with the setup and final touches of the new construction.  They also helped with day to day cleaning and teardown of the Palace. 

 

We had the opportunity to have some friends that joined us several nights on the palace last year come back and give a helping hand this year.  One of the more difficult jobs on the palace is doorman/security and they filled in more than one night.  Thank You Darla, Scott, Jimmy, and Deb!!!!!!   Also Darla and Scott thank you so much for the use of your generator after our diesel took a crap.  You made it possible for the palace to keep boogieing. 

 

A couple guys I didn’t know at the start of the week stepped up and helped out multiple nights at the door, they were Tayln, Johnny on the Spot (Brian), Daniel, and that great pair of young men that I already forgot your names?? Help me someone?

 

We had three photographers that took many photos aboard during the last few days.  They are going to share there work with us and I’m sure it will be amazing.  Thank you Alan, Andy and William.

 

Capt. Nemo gets a giant Thanks and hug for driving two nights.  He made it possible for me to enjoy the work I created for the first time while moving and also got to catch a buzz, Yeah!

 

I got a new First mate, best friend and Girlfriend/lover at burning man this year.  Every one that got on the Palace had the distinct opportunity to meet her at the main door.  Dizzy (Deb) came out for her first burn and it seemed like her tenth.  She saw a couple important positions that needed to be filled and jumped right in without even being asked.  During the week of burning man, the teardown of the palace and our drive home together she was my savior like no other.  Thank you Debby

 

Also to the gentleman that lets us store the Purple Palace on his mysterious and magical property…   Thank You Douglas  

 

Granite Propane, Bruno’s Shell, the empire store, Home Depot, our steel wholesaler, the weather gods, burning man, The Nexus Nebula Camp, The welder that died, The flaming lotus girls, The Belgians that built the waffle, my friends and family that support me even though this seems really weird, The sunrise saloon, and every one in the universe that tries to make a difference…….    Thank you
